a beard, long hair. The rebellious person does not want to belong -- he wants to be separate, he wants to be an island. Both are good; whatsoever suits you is the question. It seems this will suit you more, but there is no need to have a fixed attitude, because sometimes this may change -- you may again like to have a long beard. This moment it suits you; maybe when its work is done it will disappear again.
There are people who continuously do this: they will cut their beard and then grow the beard, will cut the beard... and it goes on. Just listen to the heart and go with it; don't impose anything and then you will be more in tune with your unconscious. And not only about the hair -- about other things too, listen to the conscious. If it gives some hint, follow it. It is wiser than your conscious because it is older.
The conscious is just a child -- the unconscious is very ancient... it has all the wisdom of the world. Whenever you impose something, it is from the conscious onto the unconscious. When you don't impose anything, the unconscious rules and the conscious follows -- and that is the right way. Good, it is perfectly good, mm?
[A sannyasin had been given a meditation in order to resolve a decision to end or continue a relationship. Nothing was resolved and now they are separating.]
Then separate. There is no need to resolve anything forcibly: if it resolves, good; if it doesn't resolve, separate. And don't feel guilty -- it is absolutely right, it is your life.
[I feel right about it -- my question involves my trust with you.... When it wasn't resolved I began asking myself if you know me or if you're just experimenting with me or...?]
I know you, mm? I know you.... You did not want it to be resolved. It could have been resolved -- but whatsoever I say about the future is always a possibility, it is not a certainty. I am not prophesising, I am not saying that it will resolve -- even to say that may create problems -- I'm simply saying that it can resolve... but you did not want it to. If it had been resolved you would not have felt so right as you do.
And the future is always open-ended. We can only be certain
